Always love listening to you both! And yes, agave is a plant haha!
Hi you guys, my wife and I love listening to your show! we have told many of our friends and family about it and there have been a handful that have started listening as well. My wife and I do have a request though, could you please add the rating of the drink at the end to the ingredient list? we have looked at and tried several of the different cocktails and mocktails that you guys have made but can't always remember what you guys rated them at. thanks so much!

I attended the "Smart Money Happy Hour" event featuring Rachel Cruze and George Kamel, and I must say it was an incredibly insightful and motivating experience! 🌟💰 Rachel's practical tips on managing finances and getting rid of debt were truly eye-opening. Her relatable stories and down-to-earth advice make personal finance seem less daunting and more achievable for everyone. I particularly loved her emphasis on living within your means and the envelope system – such simple yet effective strategies! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FTJKIKqaSUnxuQnbWgQW4Q7DVpwHH1xA_S5EXf4Yqq4/edit?usp=sharing
